Poker Card Guard

Poker card guards are similar to paperweights in function. Just like a paperweight is placed on a pile of papers to keep the papers together and safe, these card guards can be placed on top of a set of cards to keep the cards together and safe. When playing the game of poker, the cards are frequently placed on the table head down. By placing a card guard on it, a player can ensure that the cards will not be exposed accidentally or by foul play. These can be handled easily and these are heavy enough to keep the cards together.

Card protectors come in various sizes and shapes. A majority of them are either circular or rectangular with curved corners. Actually, card guards are a late entrant into the list of poker accessories. But it quickly became very popular as a collector's hobby item and a convenient item as a gift. Unlike poker cards and chips, card guards are allowed in casinos. That makes it a must have item for regular poker players. Card guards are not that much expensive. These have an average price of about $20. However, there are expensive card guards with chic designs for the fashion savvy people among the poker players.

Poker card guards are available aplenty in various shops in the United States. The fact that it is used commonly as a gift item explains its immense popularity. It is present even in shops that sell goods that are unrelated to the game of poker. Also, the same fact explains the trend of putting eye-catching designs on the card guards and giving imaginative names to them. One can buy card protectors from the internet also. There are hundreds of websites that line up to sell what they call "the best and most elegant card protectors in the world". One thing to remember is that there are some genuine websites and there are some websites that sell card guards of very poor quality and substandard finishing. So, one should be careful about making purchasing decisions on the internet. To be on the safer side, always buy the products of genuine and famous companies.

The common aspects to check before buying a poker card guard are the following. One should always check for any finishing defect in a card protector. Such defects include broken edges that are unrecognizable in casual glance, narrow cracks through the body that are very difficult to spot, and spilled paint and other painting problems. When buying from a website, one should always ensure that the company will refund the amount or supply a brand new card guard if the original one is found defective or of poor quality. If you are careful and smart enough to check the above aspects, purchasing from the internet is a highly cost-effective option for buying a card protector.
